The 28i Junior has a DHW flow rate of around 11.4 (lpm) the 30CDi has a flow rate of around 12.7. Not much of a gain, but cetainly would nitice the difference and fill that bath quicker. I guess it's up to you to justify the value of the wife being able to run a bath quicker... Does it mean...

There is one larger feed pipe, which has (I assume) two smaller 8mm pipes going to a single point on the radiator. This is I assume is to allow a flow and return somehow. I haven't worked on these kind of systems before, and although I have vague memories from my learning days, my memory isn't...

Morning All, Another puzzling Monday after a fabulous weekend of lazing in the sun, only touble being the sun has fried my brain and I'm stumped with a current job. I am to be carrying out a boiler swap for a customer, and want to fit TRV's to his existing radiators. Only problem is...

I would personally have a 2" waste pipe connected to soil stack and running to last waste. Then use swept tee's into the 2" from other wastes... No problem there, obviously the 2" would need a drop, sure someone will be along to tell you what the ratio is... mind has gone blank!!! That's flu for...

Do exactly what is says in your extract... Pressurise the expansion vessel to the MI's, then drain some water from the system (Via DOC) if the pressure in your expansion vessel remains the same as you just set it to, job done!

They will work fine with the pressure you have at the moment, it may just take a while to fill your bath. Swapping the hoses for bigger ones is not an option really, most can take a maximum of 12mm only. These types of mixers are ideally suited to high pressure systems, unvented hot water...

Bristan make some overflow bath fillers that require a minimum of 0.3bar pressure, which is about the lowest I've seen on these. They are available from PlumbCenter, and they did have an offer going on these. You could, in theory use a shower pump to boost the pressure, but much more suitable...

The pump is required for your current configuration, as there is not enough hot water pressure from your cylinder. If you install a combi boiler, the hot water will be mains pressure, which should be sufficient for your requirements. May be a good idea to get someone in to test your...

You currently have a gravity hot water system with a pumped manual mixer shower. You could indeed fit a combi boiler, but would need to alter the pipework to your shower, to give a direct hot feed from the combi boiler, as you would be doing away with the hot water cylinder in the cupboard...

Firstly, if this is the only bath in your home, think about the negative effect on the value or the property regarding having no bath. You can indeed get a manual mixer shower, that you may be able to feed from the existing pipework to the bath. The quality of the shower you will get, will...

Yes, you can move it if you wish, just bear in mind it's a programmable thermostat, so needs to be in the right place to give the correct heat output to keep you nice and toasty. Do not fit too near windows, in direct sunlight, inside a cupboard, too high, too low....... the list goes on...

OK, so you have a warm air heating system, and no hot water?? Surely you must have hot water, to bath in and wash up??? The previous owner must have stunk!!! :lol: There are plenty of electric showers around, I personally favour Mira or Triton. The Triton ones are cheaper, and available...

The type of aerial you will need depends on the signal strength in your area. I recently had a similar problem to yours, and live in a remote area with poor signal strength. Access to my roof is difficult, so I installed a regular high gain loft aerial from Argos with all new co-ax to TV point...

You can buy these showers from Plumb Center, they are very cheap, I think you can only get them in white now though :?: With reference to poor flow on hot water, this is no surprise on a gravity fed system (Which I assume you have) as you have insufficient head for the flow to exist. You...

You can fix it to the ceiling if you really want :lol: In all seriousness though, you can fix most pedestal basins without a pedestal, so long as the pre drilled holes are of a large enough diameter. You will need a set of fischer bolts, available from any good plumbers merchant. (I think...

Neither of you seem to understand the principle of gravity fed systems. In very basic terms, a gravity system relies on the weight of the stored water to "push" the water through the bottom of the store to whatever is calling for water, i.e. a bathroom tap. If the stored water is nice and...

You can fit most types of "WET" system towel warmers with an element for electric only use, this is, however, not the best idea, as the separate items can cost more than just buying a purpose made oil filled electric towel warmer. There are more and more designs coming onto the market all the...

No, it is not mandatory at the moment, but watch this space! Larger letting agencies have them as their best practice

You're right, there is little difference between a bath shower mixer and what you plan, but it is all to do with the height of an outlet in relation to the store of water. i.e. the head. I am still of the opinion it's not the best set up, but provided you are sure no other outlet will draw...

Sounds like an exhaust system blockage of some sort. My money is on the catalytic converter. Give the tail pipe a good shake (When cold) and see if you can hear a rattling sound coming from inside the exhaust. As more of the monolith breaks free, the worse the power loss will get. The burning...
